I don't know if such a tool exist.

Here is what I'm looking for. A utility that would change the code in every prgs, methods... in a selected project.

Here is what I would like such a utility to do

Before using the utility there could be code like this


lnCounter = lnCounter + 1
lnOtherCounter = lnOtherCounter + lnCounter


After using this utility those lines would become

a1=a1+1
a2=a2+a1


Maybe you're wondering why anybody would want to have such a utility.

I see it as a great way for a developer to protect his applications.

I keep seeing from time developer wondering how to protect their apps against decompilation by a potential cracker.

I think that at least this way even if an application could be de-ccompiled at least it would make it really hard to the potential cracker to understand what the heck is going on in a given application.

So before giving an application to a client the developer could run this utility.

What do you think about this?
